  1. I just noticed today that my surface cleaner has stopped spinning. I saw that it was leaving streaks as I was cleaning some concrete. When I turned it over thats when I saw that it had stopped spinning. Other than the swivel what could be the problem
  2. The X-Jet debate

    What I'm confused about with downstreaming as opposed to x-jetting is which gives you the stronger mix. I would think that it would be downstreaming because unlike x-jetting you don't have to dilute the mix in the container and then further dilute it at the tip. Besides that you're now adding 4gal 10% as opposed to the 1.5 or 2 with the x-jet. So how is it that an x-jet gives you a stronger mix
  3. The X-Jet debate

    Ok I just bought my downstreamer and I'm not sure how and where I install it.Correct me if I'm wrong. I am not using a hose reel so I qc it out from the unloader and then plug my hp hose into the other end.

    How much do you put in your downstreaming mix, I have been wondering the same thing. How much of each ingredient do you mix to a five when downstreaming.

  9. Problems today

    RPetry, The DeckBrite that Don is talking about is the version/brand of oxalic acid sold by Stephen Rowlette. Don ,I believe that you know: it is sold in 2lb bags and mixed that much to a five. Based on the mix amounts you have said, I'm thinking that your mix may have been just a little weak

  14. I do all residential windows by hand. If they're real dusty I brush them, then wipe with a damp microfibre cloth scrape with a 5in ettore scraper if necessary, then polish with a dry one. Glass Gleam 4 is my window soap of choice. I'm looking for a good spray on/off cleaner for screens though

  19. Your Story

    I too have always had the entrepreneural spirit. I'm a Police Officer by occupation, and love it, but always yearned to be my own boss. I found out early on that the force promises you a job but forward mobility is not guaranteed,so I decided to start a business. I've done it all, mobile electronics, carpentry, tents and party supplies,personal fitness training, landscaping. I just never liked doing any of those things. Then I remembered that while I was a foot patrol officer I used to see a guy cleaning shop windows. I figured that it would be a good thing to do residentially. I did jobs for family, friends and co-workers during the christmas season from Nov-Dec they were all pleased. Most of the time while on site I would be asked if I clean boxing (soffits and fascia to you guys) Not being one to pass up on money I said yes. Believe it or not I didn't even know at the time that I could clean them with a pressure washer. I used to do them all by hand. The tools of my trade were a bucket, ladders, cloths, joy and water and lots of newspapers. I fell in love with the fact that I could go to a house with my brother in the morning and be finished by mid afternoon. I did this for the two months and knew that this is what I had been looking for. No one else was doing it and I made good money. A friend of mine had started a car wash and bought a small pw. I saw him on a job one day and thats when I figured I could use one for what I was doing. I went out and bought my monster 1500 psi 2.5 gpm washer. The guy that sold it to me upselled a gallon of no name house wash. That Christmas I was the man. Less time on jobs and more of them I still used to go over the fascia's by hand because they weren't coming as clean with the pw. The following year I researched on the internet found this and Steve Rowlette's board used the search feature and asked lots of questions. I learned alot. October of 2003 I had a 4 gpm unit, real chems and equipment, new knowledge, uniforms the whole nine. I now do this part time year round and want to expand to commercial clients next year. Thanks to you guys and these boards.

  21. chemical ratios

    In my reading, whenever I read about chemicals I see things like 5 to 1 ratio or 8 to 1 etc. Is there a chart of some sort that I can get in order to find out what the real world equivilants to these ratios are(i.e cups, pints gallons etc..) If not then how do I know what size measurements I would be using when mixing my chemicals

  25. www.topoftheline.com I bought two stainless steel 5 gal compressed air sprayers from them. I fill it 3/4 of the way with whatever chem I'm using then pressurize. It sprays until it runs out of chem much.Much less work than a pump up
